Verdict
Phoenix Eye gets the vote here with Got To Be Cash and Tuscan Treaty rated as the main dangers. The selection was a little disappointing last time on this track but that was over a much longer distance and the drop to today's trip should see him in a much better light. He has yet to win a race but he has been knocking on the door and he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity here. Got To Be Cash ran okay last time at Yarmouth when finishing in mid-division behind Ndola. He has run well here in the past and he is certainly one to consider. Tuscan Treaty was well beaten at Yarmouth last time but if he sees out this slightly longer trip then he might just be capable of running into a place. Susiedil is a fair sort from a shrewd yard so is worth noting in the market. However, for the winner we are happy to return to Phoenix Eye.
